This is a mod that allows to customize and test your ship at first beacon, with access to all systems, crew, weapons, augments, drones, etc. Like BioHazard nicely said: "I can see this helping a lot of people who want to build a ship of their own but not having a clue on how to." This mod is compatible with FTL Advanced Edition and with (almost) all other FTL mods, it will just modify the first beacon.

Features:- Start with a barebone ship and customize it entirely with any crewmember (including ghost), weapon, drone or augment from the game. - Install or upgrade any system even beyond maximum number of systems. - Customize starting resources: fuel, scrap, missiles, droneparts and hull damage.- Build on a scrap budget for a balanced ship (or not !)- Test your Setup with customized fights.- When done, you begin regular gameplay with a custom ship

1.) Install with Slipstream Mod Manager (unzio ShipCustomizer.zip, put every .ftl file in the mods folder): http://www.ftlgame.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=17102Patching any other mod (Captain Edition, FTL Insurrection, any overhaul, ship gear, graphics or ships mod...) then the ShipCustomizer_ModMake sure you have last FTL version 1.6.7.

2.) Start the game and select the Ship Customizer Option. You receive the "Ship Customizer Beacon" augment, choose starting scrap and loose all fuel.

3.) Keep waiting on the star map to improve and test your ship.

4.) To begin regular gameplay, wait and select "Start Game". Adjust fuel and confirm. You will loose the SCB augment and can no longer access the Ship Customizer.

6.) You can install the Ship Customizer Mod along with Addons for a different gameplay, to be patched after the Ship Customizer Mod:

- Unmanned Ship. Start with no crew. Systems will repair automatically but it is advised to equip the "Slug Gel" augment for breaches. You can still get crew but wont loose the game if they die. Always ensure you have either no crew or more than one crew (because loosing the last remaining crew on an unmanned ship can crash the game).

This mod is great and all but there's just one problem.http://i.imgur.com/p0Wo2tm.jpgAlso if you buy shields from the regular store it starts at level 1, meaning you need 225 scrap for shields. I would suggest doing something about this.

I'm guessing every ship starts with oxygen because every ship starts with oxygen.Everything else is optional.

That or it's to prevent bugs where you have a non-Lanius crew sitting on an airless ship in the hangar and they slowly kill themselves to death.

Thanks for the comment, ships now start without oxygen and the shields price have been corrected.

I didnt want to remove oxygen so you wouldnt harm your crew initially (say on a run with no medbay/clonebay), but apparently that doesnt happen (the starting ghost crew doesnt care). Just be sure to install the system before buying other crew. The oxygen level 1 can be installed (for free) with other usual systems from the "Quick Installation" option, or manually.

Shields was a little sloppy in the original game. Stealth B would install it directly to level 2 from stores for 125 scrap, while zoltan B would start at level 1 and upgrade to level 2 for 100 scrap. You can now install the shields from stores at level 1 for 50 scrap (it still looks like it will install to level 2 from the interface, thats a glitch), and then upgrade to level 2 for 100 scrap.

Wanted to let you know you got a great little thing going here. I can see this helping a lot of people who want to build a ship of their own but not having a clue on how to.Got a short showcase video of it up on my channel to hopefully help spread the word.

A small issue though, you noted and fixed the issue with shields, but the same thing pretty much happens with drone control. When bought in stores drone control starts on level 2 as well, with this mod installed, it doesn't, and you pay an extra 50 scrap for the second level.

Also, and this is more of a personal request : Think you can remove the ghost from one of the ships? I've got a soft spot for AI ships (created a few myself), would like to be able to have the ability to create them with this mod as well.

In any case, great mod !

I've been a Rantrel junkie for about a year now and I still love that mod, but I've enjoyed dabbling around with Ship Customizer thus far. It's incredible how high of a score you can obtain with the option to select LR-Scanners and a teleporter(or bio-beam) from the very start of the game. I've done a couple runs and everything works great. Cheers!

Hey thanks so much for making that video ! I linked it in the page of course. And I made some changes based on it and your recommendations, fixed the drone control price, starting event, and made an add-on for unmanned AI ships. You are right AI ships are awesome I loved your Anomaly ship mod.Edit: wow, you made two other videos cool watching right now.

Well, it's a great mod. And there are 2 more vids coming. Now that there's an AI-ship available, maybe even 2 more. I do like myself an AI-ship.

Wow, I am beyond impressed with how you managed to pull this off. My prior attempts at making a system that looped back endlessly for testing things made the game crash, as it simply was not designed to do so. I have, however, done a pass-through of the Insurrection addon, as the author of the mod, in order to throw some diagnostics your way. Here we go.

* For some reason, the Cloaking image for the Ship Customiser craft was not loading.* Every weapon before the Blazing Anti-Personnel Laser in Tier 1 Lasers is missing.* Every weapon before the Blazing Ion Blast Mark I in Ions is missing.* Every weapon before the Mini Beam in Beams is missing* Every weapon before the Breaching Flak Cannon II in Flaks is missing, and the weapons in general are in the wrong order.* The Shotgun Laser in Flaks is a canned weapon that does not appear in conventional play.* Every weapon before the Breaching Crystal Burst Mark I in Crystals is missing.* The Crystal Shard in Crystals is a blueprint called by the Crystal Vengeance augment and should not be used.* Every weapon before the Blazing Small Bomb in Bombs is missing.* There are duplicate weapons appearing in Tier 1 and 2 Missiles, these are most likely calling variants used by enemy ships and should not be used.* Every weapon before the Blazing Swarm Missiles in Tier 1 Missiles is missing.* Every weapon before the Blazing Flare Cannon in Others is missing.* The Flak Charge Cannon in Others is a weapon that was canned when it was discovered BURST-class weapons which fire more than once exhibit glitchy behaviour when each shot fires multiple projectiles.* The Narrow-Band Scanner in Others is a weapon that was eventually pulled for being too situational to allow into the loot pool. It may be left in at your discretion.* The PDS SHOT in Others is a blueprint called by ASB hazards and should not be used.* There are two copies of the Named Piranha Torpedo Launcher in Others.* The Super Shield Overcharger in Defensive Drones is an item that was canned when it was discovered the handling properties of Overcharger drones cannot be changed.* I did not notice any alterations in the Augmentations menu to add Insurrection-added augments. The Combat Assist System augments, Empty Beacon augments and Federation Database should be added, the rest are all likely trade items.
